same tesla col as last time but with the gap in parrallel with the primary and capacitor in series with the primary (i think its 1/4 resonant is the correct term) and the gap is air blown!

I think this is from around 1990.

Update, I've mounted everything to a roll around cart so that it's easier to setup. The capacitor bank has been upgraded to a higher voltage, and higher capacitance. The vacuum sparkgap is set to about 1/8". The NST is pulling about 10 amps, so this is around 1400 watts.

This is a solid-state Tesla coil. The primary runs at its resonant frequency in the 41 KHz range, and is modulated from the control unit in order to generate the tones you hear. So just to explain a little further, yes, it is the actual high voltage sparks that are making the noise. Every cycle of the music is a.... more
